The problem is Wayland isn't even close to being feature-compatible, yet it gets shoved out as a replacement, and any complaint that it is missing something gets a hostile response of "well, no one uses taht anyway". Really??? So if *I'M* asking for some function to be in place, something that existed in X11, that means the Wayland-fanboys imply that *I'M* nobody. SystemD merely tries to do tto much. It's trying to be the entire OS in itself, rather than a minimal, specific-purpose service to load other services. And in shoehorning itself into every corner of your system, it breaks cross-platform support (when projects like GTK or Gnome build in SystemD dependencies, it means those become BROKEN everyplace else). It's doing TOO much, too many things it shouldn't be touching. It's the difference between "do one thing and do it well" vs "jack of all trades, master of NONE".

To be fair to the TeamViewer folks, Wayland has been a disaster ever since it was introduced. They have shoved it out the door with only a bare minimum of the functionality X11 has, and mumble feeble excuses that either 1: "You don't need that" or 2: "we can figure that bit out in the next 5 years (or maybe 10)". Wayland has proven to be sorely inadequate to the task it claims to be a drop-in replacement for. Between Wayland, Gnome3, SystemD, etc, it would almost seem like a subversive effort to saddle Linux with all the broken-ness of MSWindows.

Your download site is trying too hard to be clever. I am on my main Linux machine, but I'm trying to download the TV client for MSWindows. But whenever I click on the MSWindows page, and click on the download button, your site continues to redirect me to the Linux download page. If I have specifically selected the MSWin download page, then that is the one I want to download. If your system is going to decide to redirect me every time, then why even bother listing the other platforms? You might as well just have a single product page, since you seem to think you know better than I do of what I am trying to do.

So how are you supposed to *****DELETE***** computers from your list of devices??? Such a basic and OBVIOUS function, yet it seems like TV managed to FORGET to add it. I do a search on the site here, and there is nothing about it here either, which leads me to believe it is NOT possible to delete old machines. I have various systems on the list I want to remove due to them being short-term test/trial setups, dead hardware or switched to a different OS, etc. Even one duplicated for some reason. Would like to clean up my list, but apparently that's not allowed. It's as bad as Google Play's device list (which also does not have a way to remove old devices).

Tested it against a couple MSWin machines (MSW7 & MSW10) from my LinuxMint 18.2 system and the unmute microphone is gone. It wasn't a question of a "nuisance" message, but rather that it looked and felt like a potential security hole. So I'm hoping you simply haven't hidden the prompt but left the hole there.

It would be great if you guys could make it so we could remotely roll back any newer version to a older one? That way if there is ever a problem like this one it is easily fixed/patched/ until a permanent solution is found. And if Auto-update is turned off & set to NEVER check for updates - TURN OFF the update notifications so people will stop updating to the broken version. Unfortunately the second would require them to re-issue/recompile the last non-broken version to add that feature in. Certainly a good suggestion for future builds for the next time some long-term defect becomes a problem. (I know I'd like to see Android take on a "don't prompt to update blocked updates" function, but I don't think Google is competent enough to implement it). Ultimately it seems a lot could be fixed by fixing/updating the Linux client, but it seems TV no longer has anyone working on the Linux client.

When someone releases the exploit that takes advantage of this bug (if they haven't already) TV will take notice of it. Really don't understand this; there's a code change that implemented this bug, a change that could go back to a particular build. Remove that code. Patch the rest. The longer they wait, the harder to re-implement subsequent code changes. As I say, it's a matter of when, not if this vulnerability will get exploited.

The issue is it appears to be a security hole, or may mess up audio on one end or the other. It also is something that should be a preference setting, yet there's no checkbox to disable it. But my own take on it is it looks like a security hole more than an issue that you have an extra button to click.

Got the MSWin remote machine to upgrade to build 81460, and tried again. It STILL gives me the error message when connecting from Linux. Linux client will need to be fixed as well (unless the MSWin side is still broken, I don't run MSWin at home, or even on my work machine so can't verify that).

Not fixed for Linux-to-MSWin connectivity. Confirmed the remote MSWin7 and my local Linux system are at the latest versions as of 26-Jul-17 (AM) (according to the download versions on the website). Error still comes up. Are people only checking against MSWin-to-MSWin? Because I haven't seen a Linux package update in weeks (although the fix may only be needed on the MSWin side anyway).

FIRSTLY: just how does the TV support team get away with marking this issue as "SOLVED"??? It is not for YOU to determine if it is solved or not. How very Microsoft of you to presume to mark it solved when it is not so. It is only for the customers to decide that, not managers trying to falsify their numbers. When you sign in via a browser (https://login.teamviewer.com), the information regarding your trusted devices will be stored in the cookies. When the cookies are deleted, you would therefore have to add the browser once again to your trusted devices. I haven't been deleting my TV cookies, and it doesnt explain why it happens to ALL my browsers. I *do* block various types of 3rd-party cookies, and it would only be by questionable security practices you would run afoul of that That is why I would recommend enabling two-factor authentication for your TeamViewer account. Using what, my old Casio flip-phone? Not all of us have nor want "smartphones", and even with that I have no cell service at my house anyway. No, I expect it's broken like most everything else (here or elsewhere).

The "Remote Update" is only a solution if the local and remote are running the SAME operating system. If your remote are running MSWin and your local is Linux, even having the most recent versions for both will not fix the problem.

It seems it isn't even sufficient to have the latest version on both ends. You ALSO have to be using the same OS on both ends too, apparently. I have the latest Teamviewer on my brother's brand-net MSWin10 system. I downloaded the latest 64bit Debian package and installed it to my LinuxMint 18.1 system. You know what? SAME MESSAGE. Mine is a Linux-only household, but I need to connect to my brother's two MSWin machines remotely (in two different locations). So obviously the OS versions are never going to match. I don't know the purpose of this probably-new feature, but it's a functionality that obviously should have been configurable.

Just HOW MANY times are you going to have me re-authorize the SAME BROWSER on the SAME MACHINE?? It seems you are able to remember authorization for maybe one day, then if I visit again on another day, I have to go through the same authorization all over again. Try remembering which systems are authorizerd and keep track of them, is that at all possible?

My presumption had been, when I saw this recently, that I had missed a configuration setting. From what I'm seeing here, it looks like TV has decided to ADD some unneeded and unwanted function, and has apparently deemed us unworthy of deciding whether we want it shut off. Unacceptable.
